International collaboration in higher education: legal and regulatory lessons from practice

International collaboration now underpins a wide range of higher education activity, from transnational joint ventures and franchising to other cross‑border delivery models. For in‑house legal teams, these arrangements can raise complex and often interconnected questions around governance, regulation, risk allocation and institutional control, frequently across multiple jurisdictions.

In this short, experience‑led webinar, our higher education specialists will explore some of the legal and regulatory issues that most commonly arise in international collaboration arrangements, drawing on recent work from practice. Rather than a technical deep dive, the session will focus on practical examples, where things tend to become difficult, what has worked well in practice, and the kinds of issues it is particularly helpful for in‑house teams to have sight of at an early stage.

Across three short contributions, the speakers will share practical insight on:

• Common pressure points in international collaboration and cross‑border delivery models

• Examples of approaches that have created challenge, and why

• Indicators of more robust, workable governance and contractual structures

• Emerging themes and less obvious issues on the horizon for institutions operating internationally
